Sing To Me

Chapter 36

Lauren POV

Tomorrow school starts back up and I decide a change is needed. Normani and I go out of town and to the hair salon. Normani is getting blue in her hair and I'm changing mine darker. As we are getting our hair done, Normani was full of conversation.

"So Dinah told me you went to that concert." She doesn't seem pleased which I figured.

There is no point in denying it because she will know I'm lying. "I did."

"Why Lauren? Out of all of us you are the smart one." I stay silent not knowing how to respond. "Are you going to take her back?"

I take a deep breath. "I have no idea what is going to happen with us if I'm being honest. I can tell you whatever happens is going to take time. Unlike you think I'm not going to see her tomorrow and jump back to where we left things off." Normani takes the conversation off of Camila. When we were finish we go back home.

Now I'm waking up for school and I'm nervous. The weather was chilly but it wasn't miserable so I walk to school like I normally do. When I get there, I see the one person I was lucky to not see all break, Megan.

"Look who decides to show up." Megan gives me shove. "I hear Camila's back today. If she is smart enough she will get a restraining order on you."

I brace myself for another shove which came but I still fell to the ground. Megan usually walks away but she doesn't. Instead she walks over to me and kicks me in the stomach. I yelp in pain. Megan walks off satisfy as she laughs.

"Are you okay?" I hear a concern voice.

I look up and meet Brad's eyes looking at me. "Not really."

He helps me to my feet. The pain in my stomach of where she kicked was strong. I hold on to it hoping that it would make it feel better. Brad puts his arm around me as he helps me down the hallway to my locker. I get my books and Brad was nice enough to make sure I get to History without any problems. I think he walked me because he knows Megan is in there and doesn't want anything to happen to me.

He walks me back to my seat. "If you need anything don't hesitate to find me." He gives me a hug. Once he broke away I see Camila.

She looks at him and back at me. Camila takes her seat and looks forward. Well this is a way to start the day. Should I say something to her?

"Are you happy to be back?"

Camila turns her head and she looks upset. "I don't know honestly. I guess time will tell."

"Well I'm glad you are back." I say without thinking.

Camila tilts her head as she looks at me. "Are you or are you trying to make me feel better?"

"Well I mean, you said you wanted to be here, so yeah I'm glad you are back. I guess if you don't want to be here you can always leave." Wow did I sound like a bitch.

The teacher walks in and we all turn to the front of the class. I tear a piece of paper out of my notebook. I write something and throw it on Camila's desk.

So we need to have a talk without bickering at each other... - L
